Welcome to Indigo Inklings. This is where I talk about some of my rubber stamping projects and digital graphics. My blog name comes from the fact that I love the color indigo, and I think the notion of inklings covers my introspective side as well as my love for getting inky with my projects. I hope you find something here to interest or inspire you.

Love and Friendship - DCM

Today I found some time to pull out some of my Stampin' Up! stamps to see what I could come up with for this week's challenge on Daring Cardmakers. The theme is Love and Friendship, as well as using Stampin' Up! stamps, if possible. I happened to come across a set that I bought quite a while back but hadn't used yet. Perfect! I also got to use a technique that I don't use often. Even better! Here's what I came up with....

This is the Stampin' Up! Patterns of Friendship set. For the dresses I used some paper piecing. I'm not sure if it shows up well, but the purple is a mulberry type paper and the pink/salmon colored paper has a bit of shine and texture to it. You can probably see that better on the layer with the sentiment. Anyway, I just thought that they were a fun color combination and looked good together.

About Me

I'm a midwesterner who loves to read and garden. I grew up in Missouri and am still there some forty odd years later. I've been married to a wonderful guy for 22 years and am a stay-at-home Mom to two girls, who keep me on my toes while they dance on theirs. My current interests include digital photography and digital graphics, in addition to rubber stamping and card making. I also have a two year old buddy who keeps me company while I do all of this.
